The department shall develop and administer a centralized ad valorem tax
system for all motor vehicles as defined in KRS 186.010. This system shall be
designed to allow the collection of state, county, city, urban-county
government, school, and special taxing district ad valorem taxes due on each
motor vehicle at the time of registration of the motor vehicle by the party
charged with issuing the registration. The department shall supervise and
instruct the property valuation administrators and other officials with respect to
their duties in relation to this system.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the tax rate levied by the state, counties,
schools, cities, and special tax districts on motor vehicles shall not exceed the
rate that could have been levied on motor vehicles by the district on the
January 1, 1983 assessments. All counties, schools, cities, and special taxing
districts proposing to levy an ad valorem tax on motor vehicles shall submit to
the department on or before October 1 of the year preceding the assessment
date, the tax rate to be levied against valuations as of that assessment date.
Any district that fails to timely submit the tax rate shall receive the rate in effect
for the prior year.
The compensating tax rate and maximum possible tax rate allowable for
counties, schools, cities, and special taxing districts on property other than
motor vehicles for the 1984 and subsequent tax periods shall be calculated
excluding all valuations of and tax revenues from motor vehicles from the base
amounts used in arriving at these general rates.
The Transportation Cabinet shall provide access to all records of motor vehicle
registrations to the department and the property valuation administrators as
necessary to prepare and maintain a complete tax roll of motor vehicles
throughout each year.
The property valuation administrator shall, subject to the direction, instruction,
and supervision of the department, have responsibility for assessing all motor
vehicles other than those assessed under KRS Chapter 136 as part of public
service companies. The department may provide standard valuation guidelines
for use in valuation of motor vehicles.
The property valuation administrator shall provide to the department by
December 1 of each year a recapitulation of motor vehicles to be assessed as
of January 1 of the next year.
Procedures for protest, appeal, and correction of erroneous assessments shall
be the same for motor vehicles as for other properties subject to ad valorem
taxes.
